Talib Screws Grandmother over Politics (DemocRAT Hatred of Israel). It went like this; Omar and Tliab say their going to Israel to Protest and Boycott Israel. Israel says No. Tliab say she needs to visit her grandmother who lives there and Israel says OK, just that. Next she says she isn't going because Israels "oppression". IE: Granny screwed. No DemocRAT calls her out on her manipulation and Hatred of Israel. Thus proving, yet once again, DemocRATS Hate Israel and are making it a part of their Presidential Campaigns. "Very Interesting, but STUPID" as they used to say on Laugh In.

An Oregon man is back in court this week after he refused to pay taxes because they fund the killing of unborn babies. A lawyer for Michael E. Bowman, of Columbia City, said his client has deeply-held convictions against abortion, in part, because his own unborn child was aborted many years ago, The Oregonian reports. Matthew Schindler told a federal jury that when Bowman was a teenager, his pregnant girlfriend’s parents forced her to have an abortion, and he could do nothing to stop it. Bowman, a pro-life Christian, has refused to pay income taxes or file tax returns for...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) You may have been wondering why your support for Donald Trump has suddenly resulted in your being labeled a “white supremacist.” Doesn’t matter of whether you happen to actually be white, or whether you are latino, black, male, female or one of the other mythical genders now being invented by the political left, if you support the sitting President of the United States of America, that means you will be labeled a “white supremacist” by the Democrats and our fake news media. Don’t laugh at the notion that President Trump...

A man has been charged after Ben Fordham was sent shocking dashcam footage of a vile attack on an anti-abortion protester outside NSW Parliament. The video shows a delivery cyclist travelling along Macquarie Street in the Sydney CBD on Thursday, before he turns and heads across the wrong side of the road. He rides straight towards a man holding a placard before stopping and spitting directly in his face. Andrew Taylor was the driver who captured the dashcam video and says the victim was protesting against the abortion bill. He’s told The Ben Fordham Show it was a clear assault....

To the tune of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer (with apologies to Elmo and Patsy) An abbreviated version of the classic song to treat this news story with the seriousness it deserves. This one has an unusual meter plus I took some small liberties, so please hang in there.

Finally an economic analyst gets prime-time media pundits to listen as he describes the fundamental difference between the U.S. “Economy” (Main Street) and the U.S. “Markets” (Wall Street). Charles Payne understands most of this, but El-Erian has it nailed.Allianz Group chief economic advisor, Mohamed El-Erian, accurately describes what is happening in an era where deglobalization is taking place. The U.S. economy is strong; however, the multinationals on Wall Street -invested overseas- are exposed. Thus there’s a disconnect and accompanying market volatility.This is well worth watching because this is the first well-regarded financial pundit that is speaking truth to Wall...

Transitioning to renewable energy across society will require many changes, including more batteries. Energy storage is crucial for making sure that inconsistent renewable sources, like wind or solar, can stay humming even when the weather isn't going their way. But batteries have their own problem in the form of the commonly used lithium. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras have come up with what could be a possible replacement: a rechargeable iron ion battery that uses mild steel as the anode. “The major limitations of lithium-ion batteries are the unavailability of lithium in conjunction with the safety...

A research paper currently being pushed by a researcher at the College of Brockport Gender Studies program wants society — feminists — to talk about the unseemly “sexual exploitation” of dairy cows in order to “fully fight gendered oppression.” The author claims the dairy industry is rife with ‘sex-based discrimination’ (of cows), and compares insemination of the cattle to “rape.” The milking of cows is, of course, “sexual assault.” This isn’t satire, so be careful, if you start buying into this, you too could be assimilated. According to Campus Reform: A paper currently being promoted by a New York University...

Wikipedia: According to John 21:11 "Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of 153 large fish, but even with so many the net was not torn". This has become known popularly as the "153 fish" miracle. In the Gospel of John,[5] seven of the disciples—Peter, Thomas, Nathanael, the sons of Zebedee (James and John), and two others – decided to go fishing one evening after the Resurrection of Jesus, but caught nothing that night. Early the next morning, Jesus (whom they had not recognised) called out to them from the shore: "Friends,...

Full Header" ‘Have A Million Seats’: Dana Loesch Blasts Philly Mayor’s Attempts To Blame ‘Law Abiding People’ For Criminal’s Actions “Our officers need help,” Kenney said during a Wednesday press conference. “They need help with gun control. They need help with keeping these weapons out of these people’s hands.” “The perp is a felon, a prohibited possessor, who keeps being let out on the street to cause chaos,” Loesch tweeted Thursday. “It’s not the fault of law-abiding people but heaven forbid you examine light sentencing and recidivism driving the violent crime rate nationwide.”

The Log Cabin Republicans endorsed President Trump's 2020 reelection bid on Friday, nearly four years after the conservative LGBT organization declined to endorse then-candidate Trump in 2016. The group said its national board of directors voted to endorse Trump after consulting with its chapters across the country. Log Cabin Republicans Chairman Robert Kabel and Vice Chairwoman Jill Homan argued in a Washington Post op-ed on Friday that Trump has helped remove LGBTQ rights as a wedge issue in the GOP, citing his administration's policies on ending the spread of HIV/AIDS as well as his push to get other countries to...

A federal appeals court sided with the Trump administration on Friday in the legal battle over its efforts to limit asylum claims from Central America – blocking, for now, a nationwide injunction that blocked the implementation of the rule. Last month a California federal judge blocked the rule that would require migrants to first apply in one of the countries they cross on their way to the U.S. – with certain exceptions. The rule is tailored to target Central Americans from the Northern Triangle of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras who would travel across multiple countries, including Mexico, before claiming...

BRANDON, Fla. (Gray News) - When deputies arrived at an apartment in Hillsborough County Tuesday night, Kaynesha Rhodes was already being restrained by someone. Before they got there, investigators say Rhodes held two people at gunpoint, hit one with a baseball bat and bit off part of a child’s finger, the Tampa Bay Times reported. Almost immediately after deputies took her into custody, the unthinkable happened. Suddenly, she fell ill. They rushed her to a hospital where doctors pronounced her dead. Rhodes was just 24 years old. Her cause of death has not been determined. The county’s medical examiner will...

The captain of an Iranian supertanker at the center of a diplomatic standoff no longer wants to keep command of the ship, which is in need of repairs that could impede its immediate departure from Gibraltar, the sailor’s lawyer said Friday. The tanker — and its 2.1 million tons of Iranian light crude oil — seemed to perform mild maneuvers on Friday but largely remained still, shrouded in heavy fog in waters off the British overseas territory a day after authorities ended its detention for allegedly breaching European Union sanctions on Syria. The release Thursday, as the United States reportedly...

I just tried to get into my Target Red Card Account and there was no way. They have a new "agree or no agree" to their policy and it was pages and pages long. I skimmed through and saw the paperless billing.. give them permission to get into my bank.. and if "no agree" you don't get in to see your acount.

It’s almost as if they’re already American, though! The business of Greenland is business, its leadership emphasized after rumors swirled yesterday that Donald Trump wanted the US to acquire the island from Denmark. The third try is not the charm, Greenland residents told CNN, and not charming either: President Donald Trump has on multiple occasions brought up buying Greenland from the Danish government and the White House counsel’s office has looked into the possibility, two sources told CNN on Thursday.The island’s government, however, said in a statement Friday it’s not going to happen: “Greenland is not for sale.” …“They...

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - An airport security screener was fired after handing a traveler a note with a rude message scrawled on it. Neal Strassner was going through the Greater Rochester International Airport when the security guard handed him a torn piece of paper with the words “you ugly” written on it. "I got handed something. I really didn't look at the thing, I kept going,” Strassner told WHAM. "She called back to me a few times, asked me if I was going to read the note or open it or something. I look at it, look at her and kind...
